From the 1930s National Socialists in Argentina designed a series of mechanisms to instill the feeling of a renewed and harmonic community comprising most of the very diverse German speaking population in the country. These initiatives were spearheaded by a group of institutions related to the party, which attempted to penetrate the daily life of thousands of people to constitute spaces of sociability which in turn would create a German, National Socialist “us”. With this aim the Deutsch-Argentinisches Pfadfinderkorps (German Argentine Explorer Corps) was established, incorporating boys and youths from the age of 8 to 18. This article examines the pages of its official publication, Junges Volk, focusing on the devices which helped their readers build a German, National Socialist and Argentine identity, in a local political landscape marked by denunciations of a potential “Nazi infiltration” of the country, and by growing concerns about the loyalty of the children of immigrant parents.

Keywords : National Socialism; German Argentines; national identity.
